Suppose 4Sisters is a patented vaccine. Her producer is facing a linear demand function for 4Sisters. She manufactures at a constant marginal cost of $20. Reports indicate that she produces 12,000 units of vaccine. She charges a unit price of $400. She is making a positive economic profit of $1,500,000. Draw a well-labelled diagram to indicate the output decision, pricing decision, economic profit, and the resultant deadweight loss in the market for 4Sisters. Indicate key figures with reference to the above given information.
You are the manager of the local movie theatre in a small town. Running a movie has a fixed cost of $2,000, but selling an extra ticket (i.e. accommodating an extra viewer) has zero marginal cost. Below are the demand schedules for your two types of customers: Price $ Adults Teens and Seniors 10 50 9 100 8 200 7 200 50 6 300 100 5 350 150 4 400 200 3 400 300 400 300 1 400 300 If you are to charge a single price (i.e., if price discrimination is prohibited), what price would you set for a ticket to maximize profit? How much profit do you make? Price = $ Profit = $ If you were allowed to price-discriminate, what price would you charge for an adult ticket? For senior/teen ticket? How much profit do you make? Price for adults = $ Price for seniors/teens= $ Profit = $

Ajax Cleaning Products is a medium-sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firmâ€”Tile King. Ajax produces a multiheaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The pnce charged by Tile King is $20,000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve: TC=800,0005,000Q+100Q2 Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax. Given Ajaxs pricing strategy, what is the marginal venue function for Ajax? Compute the profit-maximizing level of output for Ajax. Compute Ajaxs total dollar profits.
